To all 'whom'fit ma'yconcem;

Be it known that'I,l ALFRED H. NEWPHER, a citizenof the United States', and resident of Chicago, county 'of (look, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use# ful Improvements inf WindowfSashes, of which the followingv is a specification and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forning a part thereof.

The invention relates to sashes for windows, which may be used in any building, but the vinvention will find 'its applicability more particularly .in xconnection with car construction, the object of the invention being to provideimeans for insuring a close t.

of the bottom rail of the sash to the window sill even. though the. lattermay be improp- The invention consists in the structure hereinafter described and which is illustrated injthe accompanyingv drawings, in

Figure 1-is a detail elevation of the window and its sill; Fig. 2j is a sectional .view on theline 2.2 of'Fig. 1; and Fige 3-lis-a Vsimilar view showing a modified form of construction.

-The windowV sill is represented at 10. The sash comprises a lower rail 11, anupper rail 12 and Stiles -1 3 and 14,' and, as shown, the sash is made of sheet-metal, the

several rods being tubular. e

A cross bar 15, here' shown as of sheetmetal and substantially Ufshaped in cross section, the cross member of the U, however;

usua inclination of a 'window sill, is lo cated immediately below the rail 11,' the lside flan es ofthe bar leading between. the

inner an outer plates .off-.the'saidstilesl and .14r and the/inner and outer plates of vthe lowerl rail 1'1, and lbein free to slide vertically This bar is slight y flexible, l'and is carried by ay air of rods 16,17 in threaded engagement. wlth a block 18 xed within the bar and extending upwardly through the st iles 13, 14:, in the preferred form of construction these rodsextending to the upper end of the -stiles ofthe sash and havin a `bearing in blocks, as shown at 19, fixed W1thf enga shown as inclined to conform to the.

shown, being slotted at 20' to receive a screw driver.

In fthe modification illustrated in'Fig. 3, in lieu of the long rod 17 there is shown a shorter rod 2l carrying adjacent its upper .y

end a block 422adapted to receive a 'special e form of wrench-by which it may be turned. The edge face of .the stile lof the sash is aperture'd, as shown at 23, toa'ord accessto the block 22.- e f Y By the manipulation of the rods 16, l1"? or 21, the bar 15 may be adjusted .to insure its `'conformity'to the sill 10 should the latter `be -out of true.-- Thatis to say, if the sash is inclined from end to endyone of the gscrew. rods may be turned to raise the bar 15 and the other to depress it. Y

such claim i's made in a -pending application made by fnyself. The device herein described is of special value-.in connectionv with comparativelyl narrow windows.

I claim as myinvention- 1. In combination, a window sash having .a bottom rail and -stiles, a bar located be lwthe bottom ra'il,' and rods journaled within the Stiles of the sash and in threaded ement with the bar.
